Bendixxii Restorations, Birthdays & Beyond !!

In the other room later we also look at the inside of the 7 series miele from the 1970`s, on spin it developed a "Knocking" noise, thinking it could be a spring or suspension, it was dryer off the top and whip off the worktop....

Thanks for sharing the pictures of this wonderful event. You certainly know how to party and get stuff done together.

I love that Miele 1970's set (approx. 1975-1977). The washing machine is a bit different than the model that was sold on the European continent. The HLCC numbers are an extra and also the continental model didn't have a 50 degrees setting. It was 60 degrees (including the extra prewash) or 40 degrees.

Looking forward to your report on the Ebac.

We only got the W765 and W770 on this side of pond.

At least one member nabbed one for his collection:

A Miele classic to stuff my stocking!

Don't get me wrong. The GE FilterFlo is lovely and I enjoy it immensely. But it's already time to shuffle her out to the shed to make room. [this post was last edited: 12/27/2012-19:26]

Good thread!

It's funny how when I check automaticwasher.org every other day or so, there generally seems to be a modicum of smallish self-contained threads. And yet, if I don't bother checking it out, threads a mile long seem to appear out of nowhere, and catch me unawares! (Thanks muchly for the reference to this thread, in the Ebac one) Lol
